That's scary. I use PayPal to pay for steam games just out of convenience.
My account is almost 20 years old (I signed up because you had to in order to play HL2) and I've purchased a lot of games over the years.
- ileonichwiesz 2y agoOut of curiosity, what convenience? How is using Paypal easier than just inputting your card info once?
- nerdix 2y agoIt's only convenient because I already use Paypal. I only buy maybe 2-3 games a year from Steam directly. Most of the games in my library are from humble bundle (or similar sites). It's just been easier to click the Paypal button for the occasional impulse buy than to track down my wallet. I'll probably go ahead and put my CC details in now that I know Paypal carries risk.
- squigz 2y agoIt's been several years since I used a card on Steam, but IIRC I had to regularly re-input the card details, whereas I rarely have to re-log into PayPal.
- RunningDroid 2y agoAs someone who currently uses a card on Steam, I can confirm Steam asks for the card security code every time I make a purchase.

- attendant3446 2y agoI have to use PayPal to buy games on Steam, simply because my bank account (Revolut) is from a different country to where I live (both in EU). It's the same price region in Steam, but still annoying.
